It is absolutely not correct that you record everything that was said at a meeting. You record what was DONE.
You record (write down) the date and time the meeting convened (started) who was present (list of names of people present to conduct the meeting).
What votes were taken, who was the motion maker and second. The outcome of the vote. What was resolved. What time the meeting closed.
In office meetings, you will find people not voting as much as they are given directives (instructions), by a superior. In that case you write down the instruction.
You have the duty to ask someone to speak please up so you can hear, or to restate something so that you know you are getting the important information down.
You are basically performing the duty of the meeting secretary. You create a complete log by typing the information from your notes.
Example
Notes: 2nd by Jim
Typed transcript: The motion was seconded by Jim Johnson |

Recording the meeting minutes is commonly done by paralegals, legal secretarys and clerks. The areas of law that particular rely on the meeting minutes include but are not limited to Litigation and Corporate law.The primary purpose is not to provide a transcript of everything that is said. The primary purpose is to record the following information:
- Date of event,
- All attendees present and absent
- Purpose of meeting (typically following an agenda)
- KEY: Note any decisions made, agreements, instructions, concerns, resolutions per item on the agenda
- Opens (typically used at the end to discuss other issues/concerns not listed on the agenda)
- Date of next meeting and/or skipping any meeting and why
Usually a proficient legal secretary or paralegal does not need to record the audio for these meetings. Instead you learn to take shorthand notes or type up notes and then after the meeting you clean up your notes and draft a formal memorandum. You only circulate the memo to the individuals present and absent from the meeting. If you are in a more junior position your supervisor may review your draft memorandum and makes suggestions and you are responsible for correcting them prior to circulation. Typical time from attending the meeting to circulation of completed meeting minutes is usually within 24 hours. |

Some one writes down the motions, resolutions and general discussions of a meeting and then types them on paper or a computer file for the company's records. |

You record everything that is said, then type it up and distribute copies to all attendees plus absentees so they have a record of what was discussed and agreed on. |

To record and type the minutes of a meeting means that you sit in on a meeting, and write down what is said. Its not as easy as is sounds. You need to record who is present, who is absent and the things that are said. You also need to know when not to write down things being said. Personal comments about others, jokes etc, are not put into official minutes of a meeting. |

The minute taker records the discussions, conclusions, action plans, etc. during a meeting and then types it up so that everyone at the meeting has a copy of what was said and decided upon. |

basically you just sit in on the meeting and take notes about everything that is discussed. you keep track of the times that way they can refer to them later. these notes are sometimes used for press releases. |

I feel sorry for your future employer. Give up now. McDonald's will hire you. Maybe.
Good luck! |
